About 300 people observing the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street have ended a march to a small concrete park in Manhattan that served as headquarters for the protest movement and was its birthplace.

Police patrolled the crowd on Saturday and took at least a dozen people into custody near Trinity Church that borders Zuccotti Park. Police confirmed they made arrests but did not have the total number.

Occupy Wall Street’s protest against economic disparity eventually spread to other parts of the country and world.
